High-Power pistols were also produced in Canada for Allied
use, by John Inglis and Company in Toronto. The plans were sent from the
FN factory to Britain when it became clear the Belgian plant would fall
into German hands, enabling the Inglis factory to be tooled up for Hi-Power
production for Allied use. Inglis produced two versions of the Hi-Power,
one with an adjustable rear sight and detachable shoulder stock (primarily
for a Nationalist Chinese contract) and one with a fixed rear sight. Production
began in late 1944 and they were on issue by March 1945. The pistol was
popular with the British airborne forces as well as covert operations
and commando groups such as the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and
the British Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment.

Inglis High-Powers made for Commonwealth forces have the
British designation 'Mk 1', or 'Mk 1*' and the manufacturer's details
on the left of the slide. They were known in British and Commonwealth
service as the 'Pistol No 2 Mk 1', or 'Pistol No 2 Mk 1*' where applicable.
Serial numbers were 6 characters, the second being the letter 'T', e.g.
1T2345. Serial numbers on pistols for the Chinese contract instead used
the letters 'CH', but otherwise followed the same format. Most of the
CH serilalised pistols never went to the Chinese, as is the case with
this one which has Canadian military acceptance marks.
